Kitten shot multiple times with BB gun in Polo Fields neighborhood

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A 5-week-old kitten is recovering at Kentucky Humane Society after someone shot the animal with a BB gun. It happened in the Polo Fields neighborhood earlier this week. She was turned over to the Kentucky Humane Society Wednesday night and operated on Thursday morning. Her prognosis is still unknown.

The doctors say it’s clear the kitten was shot at least three times with a BB gun.

An x-ray photo shows two BBs—one in her front leg and one near her brain.
